Greece - Geography, Economy & Culture
🇬🇷 A rocky peninsula and an archipelago at the south-east edge of Europe. Thousands of beaches across hundreds of islands under the warm Mediterranean sun… it’s no wonder that this country sees millions of visitors every year. But don’t be fooled by the tourist brochure. It can be argued that this land produced a people and culture that influenced the world beyond any other. This could only be GREECE.

Understanding the Greek Culture | The Greek Culture Today 🏛
Understanding the Greek culture of today. What are Greeks like? Although we live in the era of convergence and globalization, there is a call to protect local cultures and maintain a certain level of cultural diversity. If we want to protect our cultural identities, it is crucial to understand what our cultures actually are.
Understanding cultures is also essential for anyone who wants to introduce products and concepts in a foreign market or working in a multicultural environment.
It is important to clarify that we perceive the modern Greek culture as a continuation of the ancient Greek culture, with the difference that it has been influenced throughout the years from the cultures of the Frankish states, the Ottoman Empire, the Bavarian and Danish monarchies etc. Read more: https://he...

A day in the life of an ancient Athenian - Robert Garland

It’s 427 BCE, and the worst internal conflict ever to occur in the ancient Greek world is in its fourth year. Athens is facing a big decision: what to do with the people of Mytilene, a city on the island of Lesbos where a revolt against Athenian rule has just been put down. How did these kinds of decisions get made? Robert Garland outlines a day in the life of Athenian democracy.

🇬🇷 In the second part of my special presentation about this country I examine the geography of the mainland and islands, a look at the modern Greek state's structure, the Greek economy and the Greek culture of today.
🇬🇷 In Part 1, I went into detail in the long history of Greece, from the Bronze Age, through the Archaic and Classical Age cultural apex, through the Roman conquest and Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Conquest and finally Greek independence and the modern Greek state: https://youtu.be/Mk-OyRI7c7Q
🇬🇷 The geography of Greece is split into the mainland and islands. The mainland peninsula extends down from the Balkans, including Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Attica and the Peloponnese. The islands are made up of the Ionian group to the west, notably Corfu, Kefalonia and Zakynthos, while the Aegean sea to the east is home to the majority of islands, including Santorini, Rhodes and Crete.
🇬🇷 Greece is populated by the Greek people, the descendants of 5 millennia of Greeks living here, and in which the modern Greek language is spoken.
🇬🇷 The Greek economy is dominated by the service sector, most notably tourism and shipping, while agriculture in the form of olives, wine and cotton is distinct. Blessed by the Mediterranean climate of hot summer and thousands of beaches as well as a host of world famous archaeological sites such as the Parthenon and Acropolis of Athens, Delphi, Epidaurus and Knossos, it's no wonder that Greece is one of the most visited countries in the world for tourism.
🇬🇷 Greek culture today is a blend of European and Middle Eastern influences with the Greek's own unique take. Greek cuisine is world famous, having been exported in the Greek diaspora of the 19th and 20th centuries, and part of the healthy Mediterranean diet including olives and olive oil, feta cheese, greek yogurt etc. Greek music today has produced such world famous artists such as Demis Roussos, Nana Mouskouri and Oscar winning electronic music Pioneer, Vangelis.

👉44:21 Ottoman Greece
👉49:06 Greece in the Modern Age
👉54:10 Summary: Greece throughout the Ages
👉55:34 Outro
In this full length history documentary of Greece I'll cover the full range of time, from the Bronze Age civilisations of Minoan Knossos and Mycenae, through the dark age that followed and into the Archaic Age that saw the Doric people rebirth an even more spectacular culture of a rich Greek mythology of heroes and gods, ornate pottery, the Oracle of Delphi, and an alphabet that is still in use today and was the father of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets used across the world.
The cultural apex came during the Classical Age of the 6th and 5th Centuries BC, where Athens first experimented with democracy, and the Spartan phalanx held off the Persians at Thermopylae, where Socrates, Plato and
Aristotle brought new thinking to the world, creating Western Philosophy, where architecture of temples and theatres reached sublime levels such as those of the Parthenon, and where sculpture of the human form was perfected.
The squabbling polis or city states were eventually united under Phillip of Macedon, but it was his son,
Alexander the Great who would go on to export the rich Greek culture to the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East beyond when he conquered the much greater Persian Empire in 336 BC. After Alexander, his conquests were split among his generals, with the greatest being Ptolemy and Egypt, which only ended three centuries later with Cleopatra.
The Greek phalanx, however, ended up being no match for the Roman legions, and the Greek world was absorbed into the Roman world over several centuries, ending in Actium in 31BC. But "Greece conquered her rude conqueror" and the Romans adopted many of the customs and philosophy of their captors.
As the Pax Romana ended in the 3rd and 4th Centuries AD, with the sack of Rome, only the Eastern Roman Empire, centred around Constantinople would survive, going on for another millennium as the Byzantine Empire. But betrayed by their fellow Christians in the Fourth Crusade in the Sack of Constantinople, the empire was so weakened that it was finally picked off by the Ottoman Turks two centuries later in the Ottoman conquest of 1453.
The next four centuries were the darkest hour for Greece under Ottoman rule, but salvation would come with the help of the Western Powers with Greek independence in 1832. The modern Greek state expanded over the next 80 years to its current size today, albeit with the disastrous setback of the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-22. A brutal occupation by the Axis Powers in World War II ended only to be followed immediately by a civil war that left political scars between the left and right for decades afterwards, the low point being under the Regime of the Colonels from 1967-1974. Greece joined the EEC (EU) in 1982 and enjoyed benefits of membership but suffered badly in the 2008 financial crisis and the austerity measures that followed. Despite this, however, Greeks today still enjoy their best quality of life in centuries.

Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
https://amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
https://amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
https://amzn.to/35AWqUs
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

It’s 427 BCE, and the worst internal conflict ever to occur in the ancient Greek world is in its fourth year. Athens is facing a big decision: what to do with the people of Mytilene, a city on the island of Lesbos where a revolt against Athenian rule has just been put down. How did these kinds of decisions get made? Robert Garland outlines a day in the life of Athenian democracy.
